Dear InterNet,
Alas !
I know it has been a whiLe since we were on speaking terms. The paper calenders I use to tell the date now l̶i̶t̶e̶r̶ littter my desk like yesterdays' c̶o̶v̶f̶e̶f̶e̶ c̶o̶n̶f̶r̶e̶t̶i̶ tractor feed. As do the reference books--notable and authoritative- -I use to find the nottable and authorly information I seek :- instead of you. Have you ever read an e̶n̶c̶l̶ ̶e̶n̶c̶y̶l̶c̶ ̶e̶n̶y̶c̶ a dictionary ? Would you even know were too begin ? I dont believe you do.
Why then do I re-turn from my blessed sanctuary of the electronic dessert isle ? Well, typewriter ribb̶onns are becomming hard to scource. It is with no small irony that 1 find myself compelled to use you 1ce again simply just to turn my back on you 1nce more. Do not mistake my presense for interest. It is, as we say :— s̶t̶r̶c̶t̶l̶y̶ ̶s̶e̶l̶e̶c̶t̶r̶i̶c̶.
Yours,
ZXCVBNM

It's not that bad, sure was nice not lugging a computer around with me around the world. And now I'm used to doing everything on my phone, and that's gotten a lot easier than when I started on my Sony Ericsson Xperia active.
I wish I was that hardcore. I just let gboard and autocorrect do all my typing these days

Hi Ascaii,
what are your thoughts on the Loewe keyboard? What are the switches like - any good? It looks cool, in any case. (Well, in its own case, actually, ahem ... )

I have a Loewe aswell, the key press is short, like surprisingly short, but very sharp. The tactility is pleasing.

I can only agree with Inozenz about the feel. It is quite nice. As for conversion..I never made an effort to. Since it was a BTX board, its not quite the same as an AT/XT.

Cool!
Now that I have you - which switches are these switches? (Try saying that quickly a few times; which switches are these switches, ... )

Lots more sold and shipped. Also, full disclosure, the g80-2510 on ebay is mine as well. I want to see how crazy things are these days. And considering some of the offers ive received by mail already, this one should be very interesting.

I also received my parcel!!! Shipping took every bit of two months - thanks, global shipping crisis. But Ascaii was a stand-up gentleman and I never had any doubts I would, in fact, eventually see my keyboards.
